Ocotillo Hermoso Homeowners Association

What Ocotillo Hermoso Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Ocotillo Hermoso is a townhouse community in Phoenix, AZ where you own your individual one-story unit on a lot and share ownership of common areas (streets, landscaping, recreational facilities, and party walls), maintained by the Association through annual per-lot assessments. Single-family residential use only; business or commercial activity is prohibited.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse and lot's interior; the Association maintains and paints all unit exteriors, common areas, landscaping, streets, and parking areas. You are responsible for your interior, all fixtures from the utility entry point inward, termite control, windows, doors, roof, and patio/carport maintenance.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are 1/32 of total Association costs per lot, billed monthly. Annual increases are capped at 20% without majority-member approval; special assessments require 66% vote. Payments due within 15 days; unpaid assessments accrue late fees and become a lien on your property.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire lot to a single family for a minimum of 60 days (pre-adoption owners have exemption for shorter leases). You must notify the Association in writing within 10 days with tenant names, lease dates, and vehicle information ($15 late fee if not disclosed).
• Parking & vehicles: Carports permit only passenger cars, motorcycles, and non-commercial trucks/vans. No buses, RVs, trailers, boats, or commercial vehicles allowed. Violations receive a warning letter, with legal action at the Board's discretion.
• Pets: Commonly accepted household pets are allowed. The Board has sole discretion to determine if an animal is a nuisance; animals must not create unreasonable noise or be visible from neighboring properties.
• Architectural control: Board approval required before any structural changes—buildings, fences, walls, doors, windows, or additions. Decisions come within 30 days (auto-approved if no response). You cannot expand your townhouse beyond original square footage; all work must match original specifications.
• Use & business restrictions: Single-family residential use only. No commercial activity except home-based business if not visible from outside, creates no traffic increase, involves no solicitation, poses no safety hazard, and complies with zoning. No temporary structures or trailers. Utilities must be underground; signage limited to name/address plates (9"×30"), political signs (71 days before to 15 days after election), or for-sale/rent signs (18"×24" with Board approval).
• Party walls & shared structures: Walls shared with adjacent townhouses are party walls. Repair costs split equally unless one owner's negligence caused damage (then that owner pays all). No new windows may be cut into shared walls.
